Given a number N. Find the minimum number of squares of any number that sums to N. For Example: If N = 100 , N can be expressed as (10*10) and also as (5*5 + 5*5 + 5*5 + 5*5) but the output will be 1 as minimum number of square is 1 , i.e (10*10).
Your Task:
You don't need to read or print anyhting. Your task is to complete the function MinSquares() which takes N as input parameter and returns minimum number of squares needed to make N.
Expcted Time Complexity: O(N * sqrt(N) ) Expected Space Complexity: O(N)

Avoid using static/global variables in your code as your code is tested
against multiple test cases and these tend to retain their previous values.
Passing the Sample/Custom Test cases does not guarantee the correctness of code.
On submission, your code is tested against multiple test cases consisting of all
possible corner cases and stress constraints.
